Quick and easy pasta salad with a different flavor-I did add the raspberries and arugula for additional color anda bit of a bite from the greens. Beautiful, tasty salad that I wll make again when nectarines and raspberrries are in season, for even more flavor! This would also be good with chicken or other seafood. I madethis for Spring PAC 2010, thanks!
